Looking for a game to play with my long distance SO

I am looking for a game (preferably on steam) that my GF and I can play as we will be roughly 5 hours apart this next semester. I have a glorious rig and she has a top of the line Macbook Pro, technically speaking she can play just about anything a laptop can play.

As far as interests I'm into most anything, from skyrim to cs:go to terraria. She is not a big gamer and this is an experiment I have talked her into. As far as games go she likes the classics and still plays her N64 (ocarina of time, and Mario 64), She has a Win7 VM on her machine and enough RAM to run it no problem (she uses it for autoCAD or Revvit I cant remember, but a high level design suite)

Really looking for anything thats fun for anybody, doesnt have a high learning curve, thats also not too expensive (under $20 at most)

Protip: you buy the game yourself, you will enjoy it for sure. Then find a mate from whom you may use the account to let her try it for a few days. If she likes it, she can buy it too, if she does not, no biggie, you still got an awesome game.

You should propably try out Portal 2. It has an amazing coop, especially for those not too deep into gaming. She can also play it on her own if she wants (so do you, of course) to get more into it whenever she wants.You might want to consider Minecraft, too. Check out the amazing servers people are providing: go get your own piece of land and share it with your SO to build your first shared house ;-)

Castle Crashers springs to mind for me, it supports up to 4 player coop online, so if you wanted, you could even bring more people on. The people who made that game also made the excellent coop game Battleblock Theater, but that currently doesn't have a mac version available, although both Windows and Linux are an option for that.
